Inspirational Text Messages(Quotes)

These are some of the inpirational text messages I've received on my cellphone which I saved in My Folder.

1. Be strong. Never tell yourself, I AM TIRED, I AM OLD. The more you accept that thought, the more exhausted you'll become. But if you tell yourself, I CAN DO EVEN MORE, you'll find that there are no limits to what you can accomplish and what life still has to offer.

2. Smooth roads never make good drivers. Smooth seas never make good sailors. Clear skies never make good pilots. A problem - free life never makes a strong and good person. Be strong enough to accept challenges of life. Don't ask LIFE "Why me?"instead "Try me!

3. You can't discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore. Because only those who risk can tell how far they can go. Enjoy sailing life. Don't give up!

4. It's better to enjoy life committing MISTAKES and LEARN rather than playing safe in your entire life, and learned NOTHING at all.

5. If God answers your prayer, He's increasing your faith. If He delays, He's increasing your patience and if he doesn't answer, He knows you can handle.

6. God never leaves you empty. He always replaces everything you lost. If He asks you to put something down, it's because He wants you to pick up something GREAT.

7. Don't pray to be sheltered from problems, but pray to be fearless in facing them. Don't be afraid of pain but ask for a heart that conquers it.

8. The way you deal with your struggles depends on how you view them. Always remember: "There are no hopeless situations; only people who thinks hopelessly."

9. When the crosses of life seem so heavy to bear, don't ask God to lighten your cross but ask Him to strengthen your back for you to carry the load.

10. Sometimes we must be hurt in order to grow; we must fail in order to know; we must lose in order to gain; because some lessons are best learned through pains.

11. Life is pretty simple. When you are asking for apples and life hands you lemons, make lemonade. If you are on your way out and it starts to rain, at least you don't have to water the plants anymore. It's a matter of seeing things in perspective. The benefits may not be immediate or obvious, but you have to know this for sure: There will be problems; there will be struggles; have faith, enjoy life and take it easy. If today you are picking up the grapes, tomorrow you'll be drinking the wine.

12. Don't give up when you have something to give. Nothing is really over unless you stop trying. Don't be afraid to encounter risks, it's by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

13. Let not other people become the source of your frustration. As a famous talk show host said "You don't have to prove anything to anyone. It's not your problem when they reject you, it's theirs. Only stuck up idiots would require you to please them." Remember, you can't please everybody. Stay happy!

13. Never be afraid to try something new, because life gets boring when you stay within the limits of what you already knew. Life is too short to have no fun and yet too precious to waste.

14. Keep you optimism. After all, no one has ever damaged his eyesight by looking at the BRIGHTER side of life.

15. If people are trying to pull you down, be proud of it. It only means one thing: "You are above them." And one sure reason why they would hate you: because they wanted to become just like you.

16. There's an old saying: Erasers are for people who make errors. A better expression is : Erasers are for people who are willing to correct their mistakes!

17. Always remember two things in life:

"Don't make any decisions when you are angry"and "Don't make any promises when you are happy."

18. When God leads you to an edge of a cliff, trust Him fully and let go. Because only 1 of two things may happen, either He'll catch you when you fall or He'll teach you how to fly.

19. The greatest mistakes we make are the risks we didn't take. If you think something will make you happy, go for it so that you won't live your life asking "WHAT IT? and telling yourself "IF ONLY!"

20. "The early bird gets the worm". But has it ever occured to you that the early worm gets eaten? Being first may not necessarily be good, because the first mouse gets trapped, but the second one gets the cheese. We can either be the bird or the worm, the first mouse or the second. Life is a matter of perspective. We can whine, groan and moan, or we can take the time to learn, love and laugh. Complete with all its challenges, life is a great adventure to be enjoyed.

21. The Law of the Seed: Most seeds never grow. For one apple tree to bear 500 apples, you need 10 seeds. In life, this principle might mean you'll need to attend 20 interviews to get one job, talk to 50 people to sell one house, or meet 1000 acquiantances to have one special person. If we really want to make things happen, we usually need to try more than once. That's the law of nature. Don't take it personally. Just understand and work with it.

22. A sailor was stuck in an island where he is the only survivor. He made a hut for his shelter. Day and night he is praying and waiting for someone to rescue him but no one came. He stored foods in the hut for his survival, but one day the hut was burnt into ashes and he had nothing left. He was so angry and said: "God, why have you done this to me?"The next morning rescuers came. He asked: "How did you know that I'm here?"They replied, ""We saw a smoke signal."Then he realized that when his hut is burning, something good was happening.

Warren Buffett- The new richest man in the world

There was a one-hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffett, the richest man who has donated $31 billion to charity.

1) He bought his first stock share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!

2) He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.

4) He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.

5) He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company.

7) He has given his CEOs only two rules. Rule number 1: do not lose any of your shareholder' s money. Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.

8) He does not socialize with the high society crowd.His past time, after he gets home, is to make himself some pop corn and watch television.

9) Bill Gates, the previous world's richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half an hour.But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffett.

10) Warren Buffett does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk.

11) His advice to young people: Stay away from credit cards and invest in yourself. Remember money doesn't create man but it is the man who creates money.

Live your life as simple as you are.

Don't do what others say, just listen to them , but do what you feel good.Don't go on brand names, just wear those things inwhich u feel comfortable in.

Don't waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend on what you really need.

Bill Gates On LIFE

-- Primarily by Bill Gates

Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this...To anyone with kids, of any age, or anyone who has ever been a kid, here's some advice Bill Gates dished out at a high school speech about 11 things they did not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good politically correct teachings created a full generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it.

Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone, until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping - they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So, before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life (nor are video games). In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
